Item 7.01 - Regulation FD Disclosure

On December 10, 2012, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton") announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of eight cents per share on its common stock payable on December 27, 2012 to shareholders of record as of December 20, 2012. Fulton has historically announced a quarterly cash dividend in December that is paid in January of the following year, but given the continued federal fiscal discussions and the uncertainty around the tax treatment of dividends in 2013, Fulton decided to accelerate the payment of the January 2013 quarterly cash dividend into the fourth quarter of 2012. On December 10, 2012, Fulton issued a press release announcing the cash dividend, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. It is being furnished to the SEC and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for any purpose.
